>gay british electronica faglords>the darlings of the metal scene, every metal band covers their songswhat the fuck is going on here? make it make sense
They write good hooks and melodies, and sound really good>gayI dunno but I scored many chicks at goth clubs thanks to Depeche >britishUnfortunately
>>130096933Good yet simple melodies, so its easy for metalcucks to steal since they cant write good melodies
>>130096933Metalhead here. I like them. I can't really explain what makes some of their songs so compelling, but they work for me. At least the more upbeat ones usually.Plus, they have a lot in common with rock culture. They quote several rock bands as an influence and were involved with the LA and later Seattle grunge movement and released several alternative rock songs.
>>130096933Name a single good Depeche Mode song.You can't.
>>130097157Listen to Blind Guardian

>>130097196I cant. I can name ten
>>130097196In no particular order:Enjoy the SilencePersonal JesusI Feel YouPolicy of TruthIt's No GoodStrangelovePeople are PeoplePreciousWrongThe Way You MoveNever Let Me Down AgainJohn the RevelatorGhosts AgainMy Cosmos is MineI'm sure I'll be kicking myself for not remembering some super obvious ones, but this is just off the top of my head.
they are like Bob Dylan, terrible performers but really good writers.
What are some underrated Depeche Mode covers? Metal or not. Everyone knows Rammstein's Stripped and Marilyn Manson's Personal Jesus, but there are probably many others.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FQDw2O2vn8
>>130097247>Never Let Me Down Againbasedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeDiARw8q78
metal bands are all secret faggots who listen to techno

>>130097357my fav desu.
>people who like sinister sounding music like a band that made stripped, personal jesus, it's no good etc.it's a mystery OP
>>130096933>look like he biggest tryhard dorks>edgy as fuck names for every album>amazing soft synh music
>>130097438but they arent sinister sounding, its gay disco music for cowboys
>>130097549NTA, but they do have their sinister moments. Songs like "Never Let Me Down Again" are about heroin addiction. Plus, there's "Wrong" that has that grungy doomer energy to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhnrrLxQEVQ
>>130096933>make it make sensemetal bands are gayer. literally a bunch of nerds pretending to be machos and having funonly posers wouldn't know this
>>130096933some NME journalist at the time said that they were "everybody's 6th favourite band", in that nobody's a Depeche Mode obsessive but they go to their shows and buy their singles
>>130097822all of this happened in your head. take your meds
>>130097822That's so hilariously not true. LA is full of Depeche mode cover bands.
>>130097196Every song from Violator
>>130097986>Regarding the album's title, Gore said, "We called it Violator as a joke. We wanted to come up with the most extreme, ridiculously heavy metal title that we could. I'll be surprised if people will get the joke."Based.
>>130097822I had a friend in high school whose favorite bands were Depeche Mode and Queen
>>130097822Sounds pretty accurateThey're accessible enough that people who don't normally listen to electronic crap can enjoy themPeople like me who do listen to electronic crap can name at least 10 other electro artists they like more but I still like them
>>130098300Which other synth pop artist has released at lest 5 classic albums in a row?
>>130098310Well Kraftwerk for one
>>130098310Pet Shop Boys
>>130096933Synthpop not electronica
>>130096933They're just really really talented. Check out Erasure. Now consider metal covers of Erasure songs.
>>130097196It's No GoodThe best stalker song ever made.
>tfw just remembered this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofrB6OCSsgkIt was constantly on repeat on MTV back in the day.
>>130097963Nme is a British magazine Depeche mode is famously not popular In UK
>every metal band covers their songsThanks for confirming that Ghost is a metal band
>>130097196how about 30
>>130096933
Metal always had a taste for the morbid.That was Depeche Mode's specialty, they made gloomy electro-pop tunes with some synth effects that made them sound vaguely avant or industrial.Which lends itself well to metal renditions
>>130096933They had the same dress style as a lot of new wave heavy metal bands
>>130097196Master and Servant is one of the greatest club bangers ever created
There's something fundamentally dark about their music. It was already the case even when they were full on synthpop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfiISFiozg8&list=RDzfiISFiozg8&start_radio=1
>>130102661Another thing I just realized is their artwork. These album covers could easily pass for some heavy duty 80s metal.
